This week we reviewed Beeso's mixtape and the Doc's mixtape. Doc dumped a bunch of mixtape cover art from his back catalogue into a gallery on our FB page. Other mixtapes are available (send us yours and tell us about them, via socials or email) - including our glorious 2017 After Dark Mixtape, with our favourite tracks from albums we reviewed last year (and all the songs from last week's AOTY special.) Next week: the 2018 review season kicks off with K21's Any Given D-Day, BRMC's Wrong Creatures and the Hives' 2000 banger Veni Vidi Vicious.
